Please help! I have a 1992 740 turbo wagon - and I think the ignition
kill is activated. For some reason the car won?t start. When I turn
the key, nothing but the lights on the dash come on and you can hear a
slight ?click? in the engine. Something like this happened the other
day and we simply hit the alarm button on the remote and then tried to
start the car and it worked, but now it doesn?t start. When the alarm
is "deactivated" the number 2 diode is on and is flashing and the
main light flashes once every couple of seconds. When the car is
locked and the alarm activated just the main light is on and flash
every few seconds. What can we do?!?!? I am stranded. Please help.

Thanks,
Matt D.

I have this vision of you standing next to the car by the side of the highway
as traffic whizzes by you, frantically tapping out a message to be posted on
this usenet newsgroup.  Not for nothing, but AAA might be a faster source of
assistance if you're actually stranded.

If you hear a click from the engine it may well be a bad starter, you could
try tapping it with a rubber mallet and see if that fixes it, if it does
then replace the starter.

Pull the alarm fuse and try again.

Cheers, Peter.
